THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES of PLATE have induced JOHN JAMES RIPPON, Ironmonger, of Wells-street, Oxford-strect, to MANUFACTURE a SUBSTI TUTE for SILVER, possessing all its advantages in point of appearance and durability, at less than one-tenth the cost. His BRITISH PLATE is of such a superior quality that it requires the strictest scrutiny to distinguish it from Silver, than which it is more durable, every article being made of solid wrought material. It improves with use, and is warranted to stand the test of the strongest of acids, aqua fortis. The following is a sample of the prices ; but purchasers are recommended to apply, post paid, for a Catalogue, which can be forwarded for a single postage : s. d. 5. el.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LirEnrooL, AUG. 21. YATES 0. HOLME. This was an action to recover the value of certain goods sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, through the intervention of an agent of the name of Allen. The only question in this cause related to the power of the defendant, in answer to this demand, to set off the amount of a debt due to him by the agent Allen, and by mean of which ho had settled the amount of his purchase, a small sum of about two pounds only in cash being paid over by him to balance the account. The purchase had been effected by Allen without any mention of his acting as agent for another party, or any express reference to an unknown principal, but on his printed invoice he was desciibed as " agent for the sale of jaconet, cambric, and muslin." The invoices were used by him in all his transactions, even when purchasing on bis own account. His Loansuir, in summing up, said it was for the Jury to say what effect the announcement in the invoice was intended' to have. If they should be of opinion the defendant either actually knew that Allen was merely an agent in the transac tion, or if they should think the form of the invoice was such as to express that the party usually dealt as agent, and throw upon the defendant the duty of inquiring into the matter—if he meant to deal with him as a principal—the account could not be set eff. Verdict for the plaintiff, 891. DOE DEM. EARNSHAW V. THORNELEY. This was an action brought by a person claiming as heir at-law'of one James Earnsbaw, who died at Pilkington in 1828, against the defendant, a purchaser from one Barrow, who bad taken possession under a similar title of some landed property there. On behalf of the plaintiff a number of registers were pro duced, from which it appeared that one David Earnshaw had been married at Ilepenstall in 1807. His eldest son, David, was married to a lady of the name of Barrow, who was the father of the deceased. The present defendant founded his title on a relationship to the mother. The son David had, it was alleged, a younger brother, who was the grandfather of the lessor of the plaintiff. The registers, indeed, at Keightley showed a cer t a i n Ed w ard Earnshaw, from whom the lessor of the plaintiff was descended, but they did not show that this Edward was brother to David, the progenitor of the deceased. To supply this a considerable portion of parole evidence was given, from which it was made to appear that the deceased, James Earnshaw, died at Pilkington at the age of about sixty five. Mr. Barrow he spoke of as his cousin by the mo ther's side. He mentioned, however, on several occasions, that his family had come from Yorkshire; that the grand father lived at Hepenstall ; but becoming much straitened in his circumstances in consequence of a murrain among the cattle, which carried off a large portion of his stock, be went to Keightley, and put out his sons as apprentices. The father of the deceased did not like the occupation to which he was put, being that of a shoemaker, and ran away from his inden tures. Evidence was given of the deceased having on one occasion mentioned to a person who was going to Keightley, that he bad a cousin there, who, he believed, was some kind of a worker in wood, and desired his best respects to him. The person to whom this commission was given was, however, un able to find him. The lessor of the plaintiff is a turner. These witnesses underwent a very strict cross-examination, and, from the evidence of one of them, of the name of Lan caster, it appeared that be was very intimate with the de ceased, who sometimes spoke of leaving him his property. That he was indebted to the deceased at the time of his death, and had been compelled by Mr. Barrow to pay the amount. He at first admitted a debt of only 161., but was finally obliged to pay 1051 . He was the means f discovering the present claimant, having mentioned the circumstance at a public table at an inn near Keightley. A commercial tra veller present, of the name of John Smitb, subsequently wrote to him about the matter, and was the means of introducing him to the lessor of the plaintiff. He had made, he stated, an agreement with the deceased that he should pay the latter an annuity of 50/. for his life, and have the land at his death. This agreement was originally in writing, but was cancelled, and another agreement entered into by parole, which, however, was never put in writing. Evidence was also given of declarations of deceased per sons belonging to the family at Keightley, giving a similar account of the family to that given by the deceased James Earnshaw. Mr. CRESSWELL, for the defendant, contended that it would be a most dangerous prececent if estates could be taken away from the known and recognised relatives of a deceased person by evidence such as had been given on the other side. The registers proved nothing without the supplementary parole evi dence ; and this, be contended was far too loose, and from far too suspicicus a source to justify their acting on it. A number of witnesses were called to prove declarations of the deceased that his family had originally come from York shire, but that he had no relatives there. He claimed none, he said, and none claimed him. He spoke of Mr. Barrow as a relativ e. Mr. WIMITMAN replied, and the Jury after retiring for some time, brought in a verdict for the defendant.

AN AWKWARD RENCONTRE. — Last week a party of Italians proceeded through the town of Hamilton, enter- I I taining their street auditors with it!rs discoursed from an unique instrument, and amusing them with the performances of a large monkey, dressed a la Celtic. A Highlander, but re cently arrived from his native mountains, who was a spectator, gazed upon the astonishing feats of what he considered a countrymen ; and, his heart warming at the sight of the tartan; ha pressed forward to see if he could recognise in the p er _ former an acquaintance. Donald no sooner became aware of the imposition than he resolved to sacrifice the monkey to the honour of his insulted country, and seizing upon 'poor jock°, with many imprecations, said " He would learn the bhrutc bhesst to wear my clan's tartan." The t'rrified Italians in. terpcsed to save their coadjutor, but only to turn the rage of the mountaineer.on themselves, and our mountaineer soon had the trio in his powerful grasp, exclaiming that he would " knock the music out o' tat tam't box toe." There was little probability of the foreigners getting unscathed from their op ponent's embrace, when fortunately the police hove in sight, and relieved the gasping musicians.—Glasgow Argus. ABSENCE OF MIND (NOT AMERICAN).—A Cu rious instance of this complaint occurred one night last week to a bacon merchant of St. Thomas, who returned from ajour ney by way of Kennford, where he had transacted some busi ness. He had a horse and cart, and on proceeding about half a mile from that place halted, when he took out his horse, mounted, and rode as far as the turnpike-gate, forgetting his cart and the contents thereof. The turnpike-man thought it strange to see him on horseback, and asked him what he had done with his cart, about which he appeared quite oblivious. The next morning, although still a little confused, he found that he was minus his cart and stock in trade, on which he again mounted his faithful steed, and went in quest of it. He found that it had been put into an orchard, and relieved of one piece of bacon, which we suppose the party who found the cart took for the labour of removing it. lie then took home his cart; and the story having gone abroad, caused many jokes to be passed on the missing flitch, and recommendations that, in his future journies, he should care to " save his bacon I" Western Luminary. TIIE FUGITIVE MYERS.—On Friday, the 10th its , ant, Myers set off for Brussels by the diligence. It ap pears the French Government refused to give him up to God dard, the Bow-street officer, although he came armed with the verdict of a Coroner's Inquest, declaring he,. was guilty of a wilful murder. Now, far be it from us to hunt the unfortunate accused into the hands of criminal justice ; but by this refusal of the Sub-Prefect to surrender the accused into the hands of the English authorities it must be obvious that no criminal will in future be given up, and France may henceforth he con sidered a sure " City of Refuge" for malefactors of all grades, and however enormous their crimes may have been. Goddard travelled with Myers and his wife to 'Brussels, no doubt with the intention of endeavouring to obtain him from the Belgian Government, after he crossed the French fron tiers. What success attended his application we know not, as we cannot find that Goddard has yet returued to Boulogne. Of course Myers was neither aware who the person was who was journeying with him to Brussels, nor of the nature of his object. We believe that on au officer authorised by the French Government appearing before a magistrate in England, to charge an individual with murder, that individual would be immediately surrendered up to justice, even if he were a afterp wedding Dumfries-shire ftrhWEDDlNGiees party,-cseiicelebration r aN ti Ayrshire,—but merryCr os i r rDte heartshN b nuptials, —pa whethertn da A bs British subject.—Boulogne Journal. f blithesome m dri ;sower The man, ,haea r denaan sufferers, oppositeo ffhet a heer d reie e s iprt p nsha e i:su e oi sr d mbeecdrdm w i g_deme e edr , t: ishi atl injured—the th, n weeolNeyt t rhhebear New r. fript d m erepeer e a,oess a tri .sn n hpemo t aen i toa m geai e ddceek,r,c, withsi accident are chelsien ta vio lencepnet heao escaped w some da co y u s nt a en g et o n ' ees a, orawbuwrnai unharmed. ar t eoerg a vm:r n enoerao a tdtnu l nh. ,lt - e a re t a tr m a o v d el e l r i a n t g e p from uu u oc curred, were conducted into the Old rYlill ; and upon exami nation it was found that, with the exception of the bridegroom's man, who had one of his arms dislocated, the rest were only slightly injured ; and in the course of a short time, matters having been put to rights, the party proceeded on their jour ney.nmo, t o u u t d b , t b h u a t v e i t wasbeen m r e u g s a t t e d u a t d i r c a l s y p f r u ,;s g a u g t i t n e g u The catastrophe , had it taken place when superstition e dwir f oe e u s a t ln i d v d e pleasures of th e evening.—Ayrshire Ex -1 A gang ut ourglar, who ; Comet)!;ftriotis wast a r j ou i a mid n br e l r ie t f . h se th predations in the vale of Al.rciiwood, Dorse , , vv,, e week apprehended in a small coppice near Axminster, end com mitted to Dorchester gaol for trial, CRIMINAL COURT -WEDNESDAY. OLD COUI?T. In the case which was partly reported in The Sun yester day, of William Shaw, who was indicted for embezzling and stealing two guineas, the property of his employers, Messrs. 131ackstock, Dunce, and S 7 incent, solicitors, in the Temple, the Jury, after deliberating nearly an hour, pronounced a ver dict of—Not Guilty. The prisoner was again indicted for embezzling and steal ing the sum of 41. Os. 10d., the money of his employer, George Vincent.. The evidence m support of this prosecution was, that the prisoner received the sum mentioned in the indictment from a Mr. Biggs, of Southampton-street, and that he subsequently told a brother clerk not to mention the circumstance to Mr. Vincent, and that if he (Mr. Vincent) found it out, the clerk was to say he hacl, the money. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury for the prisoner, con tending that the case arose out of the ordinary transactions of t he prosecutor's office, and that there was no reason whatever to impute felonious conduct to the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE (Coleridge) having summed up, the Jury, after consultirg for half an hour, returned a verdict of These trials occupied the attention of the Court nine hours. NEW COURT. Thomas Harding, aged 16, and Charles Gells, aged 14, were indicted for stealing a handkerchief from the person of D. B. Hovel, Esq. The prosecutor is a gentleman living at Lower Clapton, and was pass ing along Hackney-road on the 26th of July, when he felt a tug at his pocket, and on turning round he.saw them running a way with his handkerchief. Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the Jury for Charles Gells, and called witnesses, who gave the prisoner an excellent character. The Jury thereupon acquitted him and found Harding Guilty. Th e convict was informed that ho would be transported for ten years to the Isle of Wight. It appears Government are about to convert some bar racks in tne Isle of Wight into a Penitentiary, or School of Industry, for the reception of convicts under the age o f s i x . teen years, and which we understand will be ready for their reception in the course of a few weeks. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, AUG. 22. John Jones was indicted for assaulting his wife Harriet. The complainant stated that she. was compelled to leave the prisoner some time back from ill-treatment, and obtained a si tuation in the family of a gentleman named Burgess, who re sided at Paddington. On the 10th of last month the defen dant came there to her, and after knocking her down, pulled out a knife, and threatened to cut her throat with it if she did not leave her place and come to live with him again. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said the com plainant had destroyed his peace of mind for ever by leaving her home without any provocation and living with other men. Complainant confessed she had lived with another man, but said that was a long thins ago. The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and the Court sen tenced him to be imprisoned twenty-one days, and to enter into his own recognizance in 401. to keep the peace towards his wife for twelve months. Elizabeth Golding, Lucy Brown, Sarah Cox , an d Mar y 11"tion, were severally convicted of 'Keeping disorderly hou ses in the neighbourhood of Sadier's Wells Theatre, and sen tenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. William Stanley was indicted for stealing a biok, of the value of 2s. 6d. The charge was clearl established against him . The pris oner in defeneye said that he was one of the unfor tunate persons who bad been induced to enter into the service cf the Queen of Spain: that he had received no less than six wounds, whi c h rendere d him a l toge ther incapable of working for his living ; that he had not got any pension, or even the arrears of pay th at were d ue to him, and that at the time he committed the offence with which he stood charged, he had not tasted food for eight-and-forty hours. The poor fellow's appearance was wretched in the extreme. The CHAIRMAN said, that believing his story to be true, he would only pass a light sentence upon him, which was, that ba imprisoned seven days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. A yOUn g man MANSION-HOUSE. named John Parr was brought before the Loan MAYOR, charged under the following circumstances : A cab-driver named Thomas Cox was engaged by one John Sm ith on Friday last to drive him from Oxford-street to various „ pi aces. The nelnekv driver, after having driven Mr. Ilt;urs, at last set h 13 iinaown at .;I;.er's-b 2-, uin,., Live.puol-sireet, but received nothing for his trouble except violent abuse and a chamber-window salute, which placed him in such a condition as he never was in before. To add to his comfort, upon returning to his cab, which he had left in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate station-house, he discovered that his great-coat, with white buttons, had been stolen while he was endeavouring to get his fare. His troubles were complete when, upon inquiry soon afterwards, he learned that the per.so❑ who had employed and-insulted him, had left town. It happened that at about half-past eleven o'clock on Friday night, while the cabman was no doubt engaged with hii un manageable customer in Baker's-buildings, Mr. Wbithair, the principal superintendent of the City police, observed in pass ing to the Bishopsgate station-house a drab-coloured great coat with white buttons upon it on the scat of a cab which seemed to be unattended. Immediately afterwards; as he was walking along, he saw the piisoner accompanied by other persons pass by, and two minutes subsequently the prisoner and one of his companions. again appeared in sight, the former having across his arm. what appeared to the superin tendent to be the great coat which he had just perceived in the cab. The superintendent followed the prisoner, and asked him where he had got the coat which he carried, and the prisoner immediately flung the coat at the superintendent's legs and ran away. The superintendent followed the pri soner, who was stopped in Great Winchester-street by a patrol, and taken to the station-house. The coat was whipped up by some person while the superintendent was in pursuit, and had not been seen since, and nobody concerned in the robbery had been apprehended, with the exception of the prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the transaction, but said that he had, as he saw other persons running, caught the fit of running himself. Evidence as to the identity of the prisoner was produced, but he and his mother repeated their assertion, that those per sons who had , *iven their evidence were wrong as to the point of identity. The prisoner was remanded in consequence of the absence of the cabman. QUEEN. S Q UA RE. Owen Barry, a sturdy looking Irishman, who appeared to have a dreadful wound over the left temple, was yesterday charged by a whole office full of people with divers acts of violence. He was fined five sl•illings for the damage he did to the watch-house door, or fourteen days' imprisonment, and ordered to find bail to answer any charge preferred against him at the Sessions. Thomas Williams was charged on suspicion of having forged a letter, with intent to defraud a Mr. Reeves of the sum of twelve pounds. The circumstances of the case are briefly these :—A gen- tleman named Smith bought a horse, of which he afterwards disapproved, and left it with Mr. Reeves, who resides at Chis wick, to dispose of. On Monday the prisoner took a note to Mr. Reeves, which purported to come from Mr. Smith, re questing him to send the money the horse had sold for, de ducting the charge of its standing and expenses. It was sub sequently discovered that Mr. Smith knew nothing of the transaction. The accused said that he met a man, whose name he mentioned, and who he thought was in the employ of Mr. Smith. This man gave him the letter. He knew no thing whatever of the transaction. Prosecutor and the Magistrate concurred in the opinion that the prisoner had been made a tool of by the other party, and accordingly discharged him. George Young, a cab-driver, came to this office to ask the Magistrate's advice under the following circumstances : Applicant, in a long rambling story, informed the Magis trate that he had been fined, a few days ago, at this office, for an obstruction in Trafalgar-square, and that the foreman of the yard to which he belonged had paid the penalty and costs, amounting to 155., and that the foreman now insisted upon having the money. Mr. BURRELL—WeII, why don't you pay him? Applicant— Because of the Society as is, your Worship. Mr. BURRELL—What Society ? Applicant—Why, a So ciety as is amongst ourselves, and its to protect the most ig norantest capacity from these here common informers, like Stowel, as pulled me. Mr. BURRELL—I don't understand you. Applicant—Why, your Worship, we pays a penny a-apiece a day all of us. What matters, so that we shan't be no losers if we're fined. Now I've paid this here penny a-day for weeks and now they won't pay my fine. Mr. BURRELL expressed his opinion that such a Society was very improper, and said he could not interfere. The defendant left the office much dissatisfied. John Green, a middle-aged man, respectably attired, was charged with soliciting alms from H. Herbert, Esq., of Union place, Pimlico. Police constable May, 14 B, deposed to taking the prisoner into custody and going to his lodgings, which ho found well furnished, as also a quantity of wearing apparel. He had also been to the residences of several persons, whose names and addresses he had found in the book produced, and he there ascertained that the prisoner had told the same talc and been relieved with the sums of money stated in the hook. In the course of the day Rostock, a mendicity officer, came to the office, and, on being shown the prisoner, at once iden tified him as a long-standing, and at times exceedingly suc cessful " professional beggar." In consequence of this re cognition he was committed for fourteen days, and hard la bour, to the House of Correction. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Daniel Algar attended before Mr. BROUGH TON and Mr. BARLOW (a county Magistrate), to apply for a warrant under the following circumstances:— The applicant stated that on the previous afternoon he was proceeding up the Hackney-road, when a man came after him exclaiming that lie must stop. He was not aware that the re mark alluded to him till the man appeared before him and de sired him to return. Mr. Brtottourox —Did you know the man?—Applicant— Oh yes, very well ; ha was a stable-keeper. Applicant told him ❑ot to cau , :e any interruption, when the man laid hold of his coat. Applicant stepped back, and remarked to the man that if he did that again he should deal with him in another way. Mr. BROUGHTON-What profession or business are you? Applicant—l am a merchant in the city, and was on my way home, to Dalston. Well, the man stopped me again, upon which I with a stick struck him across the shins. A scuffle ensued, at which moment a police constable came up and pinned my arms, when, while in that position, the man gave me a vit;lent blow upon the mouth. I then told the policeman to take the man to the station-house, but he refused, on the ground that he saw me give the first blow. I therefore am compelled to apply for a warrant. Mr. BROUGHTON asked No. 12, sergeant of police, if that were the reason of the police constable refusing the charge ? —No. 12 replied that it was. Mr. BROUGHTON remarked that here was a gentleman who was stopped on the Queen's highway, and who had acted in self-defence. The charge should have been taken. The applicant observed that if he had had a pistol with him he should certainly have shot the man, and it was not the first time he had done so. The warrant was granted, and the policeman directed to attend. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Hugh Henright, a miserable-looking man, was charged with stealing a gold watch, chain, and seals, under very distressing circumstances. Mr. Jeffs, a silversmith and jeweller, in High-street, St. Giles's, stated that at eight o'clock on Tuesday- night the pri soner deliberately broke his window and took up a gold watch, &c., of the value of 251. Witness's shopman instantly ran into the street and captured the accused, who made no attempt to escape. He gave up the property, observing that his motive for stealing it was to get sent out of the country, as he was starving.--The prisoner was fully committed for trial. THAMES- OFFICE. TIIE RIVAL BLACKS. —Mr. Williamson, a coloured Ameri can " gentleman," complained of haVing been assaulted by Mr. Fisher, a " gentleman of the same co l our an d country. Both parties were fasbionab,y attired. The complainant dis played a coat in the D'Orsay style, with a white vest and neckcloth, which formed a very strikin,, contrast with his sable countenance. His hands were covered with a pair of laven der-coloured gloves, and on being desired to pull off the right: hand one, he with some exertion did so, and the oath being administered, he deposed as follows :- 1 war 'qusinted ti, id Mr. Jackson in 'Meriki, and knowing him was chief cook on board the 'Merikin liner, in de San Ketrine Dock, I went on board to see him. I found him in do cook house, an I say, " How you do, Mr. Jackson? hope you am well." I war speaking to him, de under tuard cum 'pon deck. When he see me him go down in cabin gin; an den Mr. Fisher, de chief tuard, cunt 'pan deck. I knowed Mr. Fisher, having seen him at my residence in 'Meriki; so I say, " How you do, Mr. Fisher ?" and say, " Excuse my glove ; give me your hand."—(Laughter.) When he say, ,t What you know ob me, you black nigger?"—(Much laughter, in which the Magistrates could not help joining.) " You cum here, and make ridicule of your own country, sing ing nigger songs 'bout de street ; get out duty ship directly." I war going out oh de ship as he desired me, when he cum behind de cook house, and knock me on de nose till be make my nose bleed, and here you may see de blood all round my hat.—(Laughter.)

Complainant—Yes, your warshup, and call me ebry ting bui genl'man, and dat he forget to do. _ _ s. , Mr. BALLANTINE asked the complainant if it was true he sung about the streets ? Complainant (bridling up)—Sartainly not, your warshup. I got a 'gagement at de teatre—de Garrick Teatre, where I sing ebry ebening. Mr. BALLANTINE—Negro songs, I suppose, such as " Jim Crow," and other popular ones of that sort?—( Laughte.r.) Complainant—Yes, your warshup I sing "Jim Crow." Mr. BALLANTINE — In character, I think—( Loud laughter.) What have you to say to this Mr. Fisher ? Defendant -- Whr , sar, I tell von ril 'nut it.

The witness was questioned by Mr. BRODERIP, but persisted he saw the whole of the aff:ay, but no blows were struck. The MAGISTRATES, owing to the conflicting nature of the evidence, discharged - the Week stevvarl, but were under an impression the cook had not bold the whole truth. INDIA SHIPPING.

THE FRENCHMAN'S GREY MARE. James Riquier, a weather-beaten waggoner, was lately brought before the Correctional Police in Paris, for assault ing some of its agents. President—Why did you not obey the agents who found you in fault, seeing your cart was standing in the public road without your being there to watch it ? Riquier— There was no danger, Mr. President ; no daner at all ; Nancy was in the shafts. President—Who is Nancy? Riquier—Nancy ? why my grey mare, to be sure ; you could not find her equal anywhere ; she will spin her nine or twelve miles, and let me sleep all the way. There's no fear of her ever being in fault, I assure you. President—What you now tell me only aggravates your case. It is exceedingly wrong for a driver to go to sleep in his cart. Riquier—Pray, where would you have me sleep ? I have been two-and-thirty years a driver about the capi tal, and I have never slept anywhere but in my cart. We start at eleven or twelve at night, and return in the beat of the day. I have nothing to do but say, " Wag on, Nancy," and stretch myself on my bit of straw, and sleep till we get home. President—l tell you you are very wrong in doing so ; but this time you were not asleep, but drinking in a public house, whilst your cart stood unminded in the public road. Riquier—lt was not much I drank, I assure you ; we had just three bottles of beer among seven of us. President—The officers state that you remained three quarters of an hour in the public-house. Riquier—l tell you we had three bottles among seven ; do you think carters are mere children ? Three quarters of an hour in deed ! more likely taro or three minutes. President—lf you only staid one minute that is enough to make out a case against you ? Riquier—One minute ! Why, Mr. President, you beat waggoners all to pieces —one minute for three bottles of beer! barely time enough to draw the corks.—l'm done, I'll give in. I suppose you don't take out the corks, but knock off the necks ; that's a shorter way, I'll take the hint, but I think it must be rather expensive. President—You are accused of having assaulted the police ? ltiquier—Thcy caught me by the neck, the strangers, two of them, set upon me, pulling me right and left. Nancy was as quiet as a soldier on sentry, neither she nor I made any noise—it was the police who created all the uproar. The officers having been heard, the magistrates did net disposed to place much confidence in the tranquil dis position of Nancy and her driver, whom he sentenced to ten day's imprisonment. FIELD SPORTS IN SOUTH AMERICA.—We had taken tin ee brace of birds, when an ostrich starting before us, Candioti, jun., gave the war whoop of pursuit to his Gaucho followers, and to me the now well-known intimation of " Varnes, Senor Don Juan." Off went, or rather flew, the Gauchos ; my steed bounded away in their company, and we were now, instead of tracing any invisible Mid through tufted grass, in full cry after the nimble,' conspicuous, and athletic ostrich. With crest erect and angry eye, towering above all herbage, our game flew from us, by the combined aid of wings and limbs, at the rate of sixteen miles an hour. The chase lasted half of that time, when an Indian peen started a-head of the close phalanx of his mounted competitors, whirled his bolas with admirable grace and dexterity around his head, and with d'adly aim flung them over the half-running, half-flying, but now devoted ostrich. Irretrievably entangled, down came the giant bird, rolling, fluttering, panting, and toeing in an in stant despatched, the company of the field stripped him of his fe alters, stuck them in their girdles, and left the plucked and mangled carcase in the Vain a prey to the vultures which were already hovering around us. The bolas, next to the laze, are the Guaxho's most formidable weapon. They con sist of three round heavy stones, each about the size cf a large orange, covered with hide, and attached to three plaited thongs, which diverge from each other, and from a common centre, every thong being about five feet in length. These, when thrown with unerring aim, as they almost invariably are, at the legs of an animal at his full speed, twist and entangle themselves around them, and bring him with a terrible im pulse to the ground. The Guacho then runs in upon him, and either secures or kills him.—Robertson's Leiters. WATER-SPOUT.---A water-spout broke with (le- Ftructive violence upon the Barony of Fos;well, in the parish of Auchterarder, betwixt the hours of one and two o'clock in the afternoon. The rain was falling heavily during the forenoon, but about the time mentioned a suddsn darkness overspread the Barony, from Fossuell Bank to Carlounie, its western extremity, more than half a mile, and torrents of water descen • ded, accompanied, not by common hailstones, but pieces of ire as numerous as hailstones, some of which were as large as partridge eggs. The scene was au fully terrific ; and the view from Auchterarder gra - id beyond description, exhibiting tl s whole land, above half a mile in breadth, and thrce•quarters of a mile in length, as one sheet of water, rushing down the declivity, sweeping every thing before it, filling up every ditch and hollow to a level with the surface, with stones, earth, gravel, &c. The inhabitants, of course, were alarm , . d for the fate of their dwelling-houses, thinking every moment t`lat they would tumble about their ears; but in they were fortunately deceived. The descent of the water-spout lasted from 15 to 20 minutes; and the hail, or rather masses of ice, continued to fall fully three quarters of an hour longer. The damage done to the crops cannot he estimated at present. The floods laid oats and barley flat to the ground, and the potatoc and turnip fields pd . - fcred a worse fate—they being soft and highly pulverised at this season. The whole soil, in some instances, was completely swept away ; while the masses of ice completely cut up the oats, barley, and pasture grass, to the very roots. The latter will recover partly, but it is feared the former will not this season. The level lands at the foot of the de clivity are, in many places, completely overlaid with stones and other rubbish, from the higher grounds, which will, in a great measure, destroy the present crop, and require conside rable expense to clear them for a succeeding one. The water of Rutliven rose, in a few minutes, as high as we have ever seen it, overflowing its banks in all directions, and doing a great deal of damage to the fields adjoining it in its course, of about five miles from this, before it joins the Earn River. — Glasgow Chronicle.
